overhead temp sensor

Ok i have a little problem that i cant figure out.I installed an f150 overhead console in my truck.I wanted the outside temp display.
Now when the outside air gets cold,the display gos down in numbers.But when the temp gets warmer the display will not move to show increase in temp.
I have to unplug the the temp sensor to get it to read the warmer temp.
Like today,this morning was 36 degrees out.As the day went on,the temp went up,but not on my display.
Turn the key off does not help.
Thanks for the help guys.

Do a search... I had this exact problem in my '03 F250 and found the fix in a few other guy's threads. Just search "overhead console" (or something like that) and look around. Good luck!

Just so you know........that overhead console information display is not that accurate to begin with.
